The Blue Bomber was well beaten last time having gone close on a couple of occasions before that. But the front-runner may end up giving BLACK IVORY a tow round here as the latter should be sharper for a debut third at Newcastle in heavy ground and will likely go close with normal progress. Debece ran well at Uttoxeter on his debut while Bella Girino and Mutawaasel look likely improvers. Brandy Burn is related to a couple of winners and is a newcomer to note.
